OUR constitution calls for lifetime appointment to the court but does not establish what courts they serve on.

We have a large pool of appellate judges where we could have a random lottery every two years replacing the supremist court with new

judges and those who have served a two year term would return to a lower court eliminating the Royal court we now have..

No supreme court judge would serve longer than 18 years .
